Tom will speak about trying 6 scientifically proven shifts to protect our earth within 10 years. Live with Joy. Less stuff more joy.
Take the Jump by signing up to these six shifts for at least one month.
– Eat green – a plant-based diet.
– Travel Fresh – beyond personal vehicles.
– End Clutter – keep products at least seven years.
– Dress Retro – 3 new items of clothing per year.
– Holiday Local – one flight every three years.
– Change the System – at least one life shift to nudge the system.
Take the Jump have recently reached out into the schools network showing the next generation how we can take the jump!

Hello ladies and gentlemen um thank you very much for coming and beaming in this is uh a very uh amazing uh lovely man Mr Tom jump has come to Tom Bailey Tom of take the jump has come to uh share how you can jump into a sustainable future with six scientifically researched
Things that anyone can do uh to transform and change their life to a more sustainable way of uh doing things and I like thing in the introduction we know that you know government and and and businesses are and corporations are some of the biggest polluters but everyone every single
Person and everyone can do something I’m just going to mute someone there so without too much further welcome Harriet lovely to see you um want to say hello in the chat or where you’re from and uh lovely to see you we’re gonna hand over to Tom to tell us about take the jump
Woo okay thanks Phoenix and uh lovely to see you all and see some familiar faces um uh and new ones so I’m just going to share my screen where we go presentation here um can you guys see that right if I not do it in slideshow format
You can see that yep can do prob good okay all right so um yeah I’m G to talk for sort I don’t know 20 25 minutes or something um maybe we’ll see how long it goes um uh about take the jump and what we’re up to and because we’ve checked
Him with um you know we’ve we’ve had sort of a history of working with the one ful climate Emergency Center Network um over the last couple years there’s a whole bunch of of you know um local groups that we’ve worked with and um that’s been really fantastic and we did
A talk about a year and a half ago or something and um and you know obviously Lots has happened since then um and so we thought it’ be good to check in again and just sort of let you guys know what we’re up to and and hear from you guys
About what you’re doing and like think more about how we can um we can help move to this future of less stuff more joy which is our cash raise um uh so yeah and then also so if we have time we may do a little slight little depends
What your energy levels are guys but we can maybe do a few minutes of an example little workshop of what we do there really core to how we approach things which often is quite um heart opening and and sort of quite inspiring if we have time but also some Q&A so we’ll
Only do that if we have time and energy so um some of these slides are actually taken from a deck that really is um is kind of meant for um for reading so there’s a bit of text on them so don’t worry about reading the text I’ll be
Sharing the slides you can read the detail if you want new course but just starting off with an update on what’s been going on right um and I think like we we’ve basically done our first year pilot um and that we feel like really what that’s proven along with all the
Research out there and the polling data which is that a mass movement of everyday people doing something positive constructive um around living a sustainable um living like it’s like we’re already in in the sustainable Society where we’re in balance with nature and where we can all live full
And joyous lives there is a mass demand for that people want it all around the country everywhere we go and even in um the International places we working like this this kind of idea that people don’t care right and that like that everybody needs to somehow be tricked to care
About the environment by making it cheaper to be green or whatever and obviously that’s important but people care about their kids future they care about our Earth and everywhere we go we find the so many people who are who just want something to you know feel powerless feel confused and want to do
Something right um and so our pilot has really shown that by the the massively positive reaction we’ve had you know we’ve had um you know 5,000 kind of really active members doing stuff like trying this in their lives now we’ve reached two and a half million people
Actually through our um social media and online stuff and press we uh we fully launched in New Zealand like a full operational launch there and they’re doing amazing stuff we’re about to launch in Germany we’ve fully translated all our stuff and got some great groups of Germany we’re we getting on with
Translating the French version we’ve got some great groups in France and hopefully Canada and the US are going to follow um at some point this year so there’s demand for this internationally as well which is great um there’s 30 or so vibrant groups um or or Partners or
Or local um organizations that had taken the jump around the UK it’s actually more than that I I need to know what the exact number is but um and we’ve been engaging with schools with businesses with the cultural sector we’re at glast Festival Shambala Festival doing all
Sorts of immersive theater and fun D stuff um and we were in gret thunberg’s book as one of the best things citizens can do to have an impact and live a positive life um so that’s really nice um and also we’ve had we’ve now got 200 trained ambassadors um so these are
People who go through I’ll talk a bit more about the ambass the training because I think it’s one of the coolest things we do it’s like a five-week course that really kind of takes you through the Journey to um being really being able to really meet other people
Around this this whole conversation and and and you know get over the shame get over the tension and be able to engage positively even with people who are really not on the same page um so we’ll talk more about that but that’s just a a quick like hey like look you know this
Is where we are right and but if you’ve not heard anything about take the jump you might be like what what what actually is this thing right so I’m just going to give you quick some of you will will be really familiar with this but um
I’m going to give you a quick background so this whole emerged um based on a piece of research that was done by Le University C40 Arup um and loads of experts around the world that looked at this the whole world economy right and all the trade flows going on it’s the
First time this has been done on a global scale it’s like when if you look at the ipcc or other organizations or Academia or or or a city plan or a national plan they tend to draw a ring around a country or a place and say
That’s where you know let’s look at that place let’s look at England misss um and just think about it in that way and that ignores the impact that the UK has internationally through its consumption which is a massive chunk right um and it’s and it’s particularly important
When you go beyond just climate change and you look at land use change biodiversity loss ocean ACI ocean acidification all these massive impacts happening around the world to create iPhones and cables and car tires and things in the UK right so this model looked at this this is the impact the
World econom is having how do we get to being Back in Balance with nature um and it had some really transformative findings that completely ruined my career and forced me to quit and to start this thing because basically it made it clear that you know like like all these technology tweaks policy
Tweaks pop down stuff very important but it won’t ever green fast enough right we have to look at consumption we have to look at culture mindset we have to we have to we have to be more um comprehensive about how we think about this great great transition right um and
You going to mention anything about what you did previously with the green new deal just so folks know yeah okay well maybe that’s part of story then and gosh it is major major part of the like um the uh you know I when with my take a
Jump hat on I’m very careful to be not political um with the capital P I’m I’m political in very political in other parts of my life um so I certainly acknowledge the centrality of that to the transition but um we’re trying to sort of get you know we take the jump
We’re trying to reach all people and obvious often politics can be quite a dividing line often unnecessarily you know people on every side of the political aisle care about nature um or can care about nature so but anyway but like so I did a lot of work with um
That said I did uh and I talked about you know the stuff I doing ear in my career has been uh with NOS in the private sector um doing strategic climate change stuff research consultancy um and part of some of that work was uh working for the previous
Labor um leadership in developing their climate change uh plan um and so we did uh I led the 300 Page report that sat behind the 2019 um uh Manifesto um so all the the jobs numbers the economics numbers the energy numbers all of that stuff um came from the piece of work we
Did obviously sadly that election went um uh completely the wrong the opposite way um and then I’ve also been doing some work with um uh up until about seven months ago with with the labor party currently on their homes policy on their home retrofit plan and we did you
Know we got some great stuff that they were signed up to um retting every home in the UK by the early 2030s you know millions of people taking out of energy poverty um and sadly they’ve just scrapped it all um so um with that 28
Billion so uh it’s too much of a s I’m I’m still in the grief period for that so I don’t to talk about too much but go on too much I’ll start getting all I rate but so that you know and it’s part of this sort
Of uh seeing the way these things play out has also contributed to this acknowledgement that uh until we have this kind of a mass movement of people demanding or wanting or living and showing this new way of being um the top down stuff’s not going to come because
There isn’t you know if you look if you look I’m going I get more into this later but like um the politics is just um you know it’s just not there at the moment and uh you know you just see the thing with labor it’s just so
Heartbreaking and from what I can tell um that’s just because they they perceived that to be something they could do without massive political um rep repercussions um and we need that to be something that everybody is very very UPS set and outraged about and um so really working with you know everyday
People working with communities with schools with um with you know with that’s where if if governments aren’t going to do what they need to do then we’re kind of um it’s really important that we we we find these other ways right um so that’s kind of framed as
Well the journey into into a movement like this right um and empowering everyday people but it’s not just that you know that um that that that recognition of the lack of leadership at the top you know um in our leaders um it’s actually the science shows this
This research here science shows that um citizens of communities are actually Central to it anyway um and so we need this the research showed there’s two big findings the first was that we need a twoth third reduction in the impact of everything consumed in rich countries in
10 years so that’s everything we consume like hospitals consume individuals consume schools like um you know government’s industry you like food on our plates or in our bins laptops um you know know cars um machinery and Industry all of it needs to be reduced the impact particularly in rich countries in just
By 2third by the early 2030s so that’s like whoa that is that is a complete transformation of society it’s a massive ask you know um and you can’t just do that with technology and policy tweaks now how on Earth you go about doing that well the thing that the um research also
Showed is it looked at all the hundreds of changes needed across the world economy to achieve the that two3 reduction and you can say well that one is the primary influencer government for that one the primary primary influencer is Citizens and communities for that one it’s industry and then you can map kind
Of like a sort of rough idea of where these big changes sit and when you do that you see that actually all sectors have a massive role and the phrase that comes out of it is we need all action from All actors now right so you know
This whole idea like oh we can’t do anything until business does it or like or business going oh we can’t do anything till government does or what about China and India we can’t do anything till they do all of this is just a kind of um a way of of
Distracting and and avoiding you know we all there is something that every every sector needs to be doing right and the the finding for communities and citizens was that 27% of that change in the next 10 years at least 27% citizens and communities uh have primary influence over so not you
Know there are you know the things that make up this 27% government and Industry also influence but citizens are really a big big stakeholder in this right and so this shows first of all I just talked about the fact that 80 well 80% of people in G20 countries worried about
Climate change um feel powerless and Confused like I can’t do anything but this research shows we can right so it’s actually a message of empowerment and and uh and you know for me it was a huge relief to see this number you know it’s like oh oh we can do something and even
If Government and Industry did everything they need to do we would still have a big chunk to do here right so this is not about you know we got to be clear government and Industry have most responsibility the 73% we’re not letting them off the hook by any means right and this is
Something that you know often people it’s really important to say because industry has spent the last 30 years trying to blame individuals for their mistakes right um uh but that’s not what we’re doing here this is about the empowerment of people um so how’s that 27% happen first I’m going to run
Through these really quick because many of you might know them and if we can go to them more detail if you want in a bit but the first ones it’s six shifts um that the science was really clear on and uh the first is end end clutter so
Keeping our Electronics our laptops our products our our appliances for at least seven years right then this is a an average obviously a washing machine you’d keep for a lot longer than that um but like this is an average and so not buying a new phone every month every
Year when the new one comes out you know not trying to buy things that are repairable trying to make sure you do your best to repair them not buying a new one just because it’s a new brand a new um new model or whatever um so
That’s that one en clutter number two is travel fresh unsurprisingly trying to get um move away from private vehicles and if we can moving away from it entirely and it’s not possible for many people if you live roally you’re not as mobile you know and the systems around
Us make it difficult but in an Ideal World we would be able to walking cycling public transport car sharing um you know would be the M would be the way we travel around and because if you look at the projections for um for vehicle uh production even when you include
Electric vehicles like we have to massively drop off the amount of the expected growth in in ownership of of vehicles in many cases in particular electric vehicles because of the massive resources needed to make them and their batteries and stuff so um it’s true what vehicles there are what cars there are
Should be electric but we need less cars on the road that is the absolute message for the The Wider planet in the next coming decades so travel fresh and number three unsurprisingly eat green go as close to plant-base as you can don’t waste any food eat everything your by
Pretty simple I you have to go all the way plant-based um uh but it’s as close as you can and we’ve got some Target numbers in there um and then the next one fourth is holiday local so this is the one that like young people tend to
Hate me for um about you know and uh excited and about to go off and travel and see the world but is uh one return flight every three years short Hall one return flight every eight years long Hall okay so um it means you know you can still go to every continent in
Your lifetime if you know in an average lifetime um you can still see the world but it’s just about getting back into balance and not going on you know weekend trips to Istanbul or whatever um and so and enjoying the the magic of of our local
You know um where we live or where we can get to by train um which I have found really enriching and trying this um uh this one and then the the fifth one is dress retro so acknowledging the massive impact of clothing so the the stat I’m always telling everyone is that
In in the US the average um uh US citizen buys 50 that’s 5 Z new items of clothing a year 50 that’s one a week that’s an average like year in year out you know the fast fashion thing’s Gone Bananas so like trying to get that down
To three is a target here but you can still do secondhand rented shared upcycled um you know you can still look great change your wardrobe all the time um but um uh yeah trying to keep those new items down for reasons which we we can get to the sence behind each of these
And the reasons why if you want but I’m guessing you guys get the basic reasons why we need to buy less new clothes um so those five those five if everybody did those right that would be 27% of the change needed right in the next 10 years
What about the rest of it well this is where change the system comes in and we invite people to do one of eight things to try and shift the world around us so this is things like engaging with the global Finance Market through your pensions which is the main way that we
Influence global finances as individual as Everyday People shifting your pension to a green pension or the energy sector by swapping to a green energy energy provider or Energy Efficiency by um retrofitting your home we don’t have a home retrofit shift on its own because really that’s something that must come
In at the government level it’s too expensive for most people to do cost 30 grand to do a full home retrofit and get a pat pump and so that’s what I mean you know in my other job that’s what I really focus on a lot and that really
Need homes need to be treated like National National infrastructure and expecting you know in in a time in a in a time like now normal people to pay for all of that it’s just um but just hasn’t worked right so so we put that in this
One um because those who can afford it we really we’re really encouraged to do it but we’re not it’s it’s a lot to put on people a lot of pressure that they should be finding all that money to to retrofit their homes if they if they’re economically disadvantaged um or
Whatever um and then a whole bunch of other things like engaging in um in politics engaging in your local community ecosystem restoration um uh getting involved in education so there like a long list of of all these different things that that people we invite people to do one of to
Change the system and they could do more if they want um and this is where yeah getting involved in the cc’s is one so in the community side you know for um one of the eight um so that is the six shifts and that is taking the jump right
This is whether we whether whether we like it or not the science is clear this is what the future looks like right if we’re going to avoid ecological breakdown by the early 2030s this is what it looks like um and and so the idea of taking the jump is like we we
Have a little jump into that future we have an experiment we live it we walk around we you know smell the air we sort of see what it feels like to be living that World um and we invite people to try for one three or six months um
Obviously that’s a small amount of time but it’s um the idea is that we make it so positive for people that then they’re hooked um and one of the great benefits is that like you know like these six um based on that research are the main things that people need to be doing
Obviously there’s lots more we could be doing there’s a whole bunch of things that are not in here but the research was clear these are the big hitters when you look at the nine planetary boundaries right um and so it makes it simple for people and you can you could
You know there’s not gamification you’re not left with lots of decisions to make yourself it’s like here’s the six have a go okay um although as we’ll talk about in a minute you don’t have to do all of them it’s about doing what we can but um
So that’s the six shifts and and really what the movement is then about is about trying to um uh is is these three steps right if taken the main sort of um what you might call pillars of soet of social transformation and the first one is is
This one about unlocking the power of people um and and using like you know leading Behavior change using a joyous approach some stuff we will go into a bit in a minute to sort of reach beyond the echo chamber and engage Everyday People by meeting people where they are
By not pointing fingers and um like you know ding people in Doom and Gloom um and a whole range of other methods to to activate a part of society um uh towards you know to try and take the jump and to experiment with it and then once we’ve
Got that and also just to inform people about the shifts and and to try and you know get it out there as much as possible then step two is is um or pillar two um for those who take part helping people actually go through and make this change because it’s all well
And good telling people what these shifts are but how do we actually help people make a change when the whole world is pushing the other way so there’s a whole load I’ll talk about more about on that in a bit but and then bringing those people together into a
Joyous movement where we have schools businesses communities um individuals experimenting with this new way of living right and make and finding this joyous alternative starting to live like you know we’re we’re not in a um we’re not just consumers we’re humans again and then using those great examples to
Transmit to everyone else and they idea you know in the change the the C the Paradigm one which is all about shifting culture so if we’ve got these you know examples all around the the rich world or the the industrialized World um of this better way of doing it then being
Really smart about how we bring everybody else with us and change minds and and and culture so that it other people start shifting naturally almost by osmosis um and the target for this is to reach a quarter of the population um uh or by the early 2030s to have a
Quarter of of the of people in these countries trying this or being influenced by it so that’s 300 million people so that’s our Target for the early 2030s um and then the research implies that once you hit a quarter that kind of tends to be the Tipping Point
Where you get this widescale mindset shift which is you know based on what we talked about with the politics stuff earlier that feels like still that’s a huge barrier to getting leaders to do what we need them to do and so that’s our that’s really our goal here is to
Create this platform where the momentum is irresistible then and this real deep shift in what it means to be human and and our relationship with our Earth starts to just snowball so um that’s kind of like the you know the theory of how it all works
At a very very high level um but what about how how do we actually take the jump how do we actually go you know like um it’s a well and good like I said having this information how do we help people through this transition well this
We’ve pulled together a bunch of of uh foundations that based on like leading Behavior change signs I’m going to motor through a couple of them just to give you an idea the first is that trying is enough to just start right and I a lot of people when we talk about this
Especially in green circles people are like hang on a minute that ain’t true because like the science is clear we got to get there whether you like it or not these are the changes that are needed and they’re needed soon and that’s true but if you that is is not the way most
People approach change and actually if you expect to be perfect overnight you can’t you you just back off right imagine saying to a a young young child who’s about to start playing the piano you better be at grade eight by tomorrow you know they’d be like what you know
They wouldn’t be able to do and it would you so like change doesn’t work like that you have a little go then you fail you forget about it and then someone else gives you a pat on the back and you try it again and you meet another person
Who inspires you and then you learn a new skill and you get excited and you build this momentum and it’s it changes like that right um and you’ve got to be you got help people take you know for instance with the um the dress Retro One three new items of clothing ear if
That’s here and we’re talking to someone who’s way back there and buys 50 a year you know this is a big gap so what is what we’re doing is helping people take the first step that’s available to them getting them linked into this network and getting them building momentum and
Feeling the joy and the positivity about it um so getting people started um the flip side of that if we can’t all be perfect because we can’t right we’re all Hypocrites right I think this is something that I think is true well I’m a hypocrite it and I think it’s quite
Funny it’s just fine you know no one’s perfect like you know this whole thing you go on TV or something at the moment anyone who does you know wants to make a point about the environment the first question they ask you yeah but I bet you
Fine like let’s own it yeah of course I’m here of course I’m not perfect not trying to be you know and that then allows you to meet other people directly without this sort of top down preachiness um you know my example I’m always using this blue cheese I can’t
Resist it if you put bit of blue cheese in front of me and said the world will literally explode tomorrow if you eat that I just that’s delete it you know like but you know I’m doing my best and I’m making massive changes so like I’m
Not I’m you know we’re human so um so if we’re not perfect let’s not shame ourselves or each other let’s support each other so no shaming it doesn’t work um certainly not for most people so uh that’s really key to the whole the whole vibe right and the other thing about
This is um so rather than it being Doom and Gloom and imagining that like all I need to do like you know when you find that about the environment the catastrophe the situation where you’re like this is making me panic I need to tell people how bad this is and if I
Just make them Panic too then it’ll be okay and it’s like that just makes people go mad and like you know if you tell someone everything’s really wrong and you can do nothing about it um and your kid’s future is in Jeopardy they’ve their response when they go that’s
Nonsense is not a rational Choice it’s an emotional necessity they have to you know we have to work with the way that people work emotionally right and so the key to this is the joy of the world that we’re bringing into being right it’s not just about you know avoiding emissions
It’s about this will be better right um and so this is why saying take the jump is a jump for joy and you know each of the six shifts here I mean we’ve got reasons why each of them actually makes our lives better you know holiday local
We connect with nature and we connect with your local culture and you you get out of the treadmill of having to have the perfect Instagram holiday photo on a beach and you can just enjoy your bloing holiday you know um or like uh eat green it makes us it’s much healthier for us
Right you live some some research says you can live up to 10 years longer if you cut down a high meat diet so there’s loads of ways these things actually make our lives better right the shifts but even more deeply right a world that isn’t just about consuming would
Actually be better right this idea you’re not a human you’re a consumer you don’t have worth you’re worthless and you get your worth by buying stuff right and like you know you’re separate from me you’re separate from the earth this is nonsense right and like so like yeah
Yes consuming is important but what about all the other seas that make life great like care craft creativity Culture Connection comedy celebration contentment yada y yada right and like this is the stuff we really lean into and I’m going to slowly getting into the the sort of community level stuff now
Which obviously is really linking into what we’re here to talk about because when we do this at the community level this is the stuff we really Le lean into this is the J the this is what we’re jumping to right the world we’re jumping
To um uh if the six shifts are kind of like what we’re leaving this is where we’re Landing um a world that’s like this um and I think a phrase that really like uh we use a lot which is um you know if you if you want to change the
World you’ve got to throw a better party right cuz like you know you walk past a party you can hear the music and people clinking their glasses you God I want to be in there you know like that’s how we get people if we just describe what’s
Wrong with today like that won’t get us anywhere it’s just going to freak everyone out like if we show look this is what we’re doing tomorrow and it’s great come join um and so like this is the ethos of what we try and do particularly at the community level well
In everything we do here you’ve got some examples there’s a group in Manchester on the top left who we did this amazing um event with uh all sorts of different communities and like locally grown food that the sort of Guerilla permac culture guys had had um had brought along and
And engaged the community there and there’s lots of Celebration and music and crafts and stuff on the right there we’ve got um uh our immers bit of immersive theater stuff that we had at glasty Festival in the um the the the theater field at the bottom there you’ve
Got the one of the New Zealand groups um which is kind of partly led by some some of the mai Community there and you can see all the stuff is is translated into Mai as well which it sounds even better I I can never quite pronounce it but
Tonga tee is take the jump in um Mari um it sounds beautiful when someone who can pronounce it properly says it um uh and yeah so this yeah so this is kind of core to what we do um at the community level right and I think one of the things that
Um yeah I want to mention to you all is that uh you know take the jump we have a whole range of of of ways that we can engage with different types of organizations and stuff and local community groups is is is really one right um and so we’ve there’s a little
Map at the bottom there that’s just south England of of local groups that we kind of come and work with um and what this C looks like is uh you know Bally just people to taking the jump together right and I think the key thing is that
The take the jump is not China and it’s not something it’s not like a new kid on the Block right that’s kind of um trying to muscle in with everyone else it’s set of resources that anyone can use it’s something that existing organizations and efforts and groups and people can
Have a go at and can help support them so it’s not like we’re trying to set up new groups I mean that has happened spontaneously sometimes but um this is something that those who are already trying to do something can really use and leverage um and often it involved
Bringing people together to try take the job try making these changes um as a little community and then you know based on that that experience and the personal stories then engaging with the rer community and and doing all sorts of things right and so we have a range of
TOs tool kits that we have available so Community Building toolkit a communication guide and toolkit schools kits and presentations and workshops and assemblies and projects um and then a whole range of stuff for engaging local authorities and businesses um to help you know if you’re trying to get out
Into that that wider Community um and uh what’s move my little curse I think so I can see the rest of the side um we do uh we help with events so you know um events around the particular shifts so you can see the shifts on the
Right with doing things like cloth swaps um bike repair shops um eco- fashioned catwalks um plant-based cookings car pools um walking buses um all sorts of things like that that we’ve been doing with different Community groups bottom left there’s a picture of um uh a a repair shop with the group in
Woking um so we can sort we help with that we have like a um you know a team of people who can sort of offer guidance and help get these things up and running if if that’s helpful we’ve got training on commun particularly our ambassador training which talk a bit more about on
Communication um and and so on we have a whole range of assets like posters and flyers and Banners and um and uh and artwork and stuff um I didn’t mention on the events we’ve got all sorts of fun workshops as well that people could put on like we have a consumers Anonymous
Session which we can train people in which is so much fun it’s basically you get a run in the CC it’s basically like slightly respectfully riffing off um you know AA or something like that um and it’s a bit of immersive theater and everyone’s like hello my name’s Tom and
I’m a consumer hello Tom and then we go on this a whole um orchestrated Journey where you go from being a consumer and you really lean into being your your most like imagine if you had a 10 million pounds what would you go buy it
I go buy a yacht and and you sort of really lean into your consumer Goblin and then through this journey of recovery come back to being a human being again and it’s really good fun and but it’s quite beautiful as well love it love it hello I’m a consumer I’m moving
To being a sharer yeah exactly yeah and at the end so you start by the end you pick something else like like hello my name’s Tom and I’m a laugher or I’m a father or I’m a lover or I’m a maker or like you know we read you know we we’re
Reborn at the end as as actually what we are not just some Blum in number on a sort of a brilliant you know shareholder spreadsheet um so uh and then also connections so we have lots of groups um that we can link into stuff people into
Other examples of stuff going on that we clinking to people we have a hub that is about to get back up and running and that’s International so there’s people around the world you can get inspiration and tat to and learn about all this kind of stuff um and I think a key another
Key bit of this how am I doing for time okay you’re doing fine just just yeah you’re on 35 you can flow on for for a little bit and then okay maximum five more minutes I promise um so brilliant good stuff and uh got questions get your
Questions ready okay um a key part of this which the big question we always ask is how do we get beyond the same um I mean this in the nicest possible way but you know like middle class white white groups that we normally um uh
Exist in in these um you know uh efforts and get into um Everyday People in wider communities and I think the key thing that we found with this is that this is you know often there’s this idea that we need to find the right language or the
Right kind of branding or the right kind of Facebook sort campaign it’s about people talking to people and it takes time and it’s about building relationships with Community leaders personal trusting relationships where you leave your ego at the door and and and build those relationships with with different groups that um that then
Allows us to allows through co-creation a an appropriate new manifestation of this to emerge in different communities um and we could talk we talk a lot about this in our Comm in our training um but this is you know I think core thing that
Um we we sort of focus on and can help local groups with with doing that getting beyond the echo chamber and how we then help people I think um uh like as we build this movement the three main pillars of what we do which is giving
You know if you take the jump or you try these shifts provide direct support to individual through workshops and guides and training through Collective action that’s what we’ve just talked about how we support local groups Civil Society businesses getting involved um and then bringing everyone together into a connected movement these three all
Really provide the engines of momentum for for us because like imagine you know I’m trying to you know do these six shifts I’m finding it hard but if I’ve got lots of guidance on how to do it which is a that kind of helps if I’ve
Got other people I can connect with in my local area and I can see there’s local businesses are trying to sh as well and the systems around me starting to unpick a little bit makes it easier and then if I feel like I’m part of this Collective tidle wave of a movement then
That really helps Bo the the sort of the momentum and these have really emerged after several years of just asking people and doing research around what it is that helps people transition and the really this is our day today is is kind of keeping these three um uh actioned
Um and another quick thing about reaching out as well which is something we can really help local groups with which is how we sort of expand into other sectors and get um sort of you know better reach and uptake and we’ve got a whole range of doing this so through building Partnerships through
Publicity and being in the Press through ambassadors um and we do stuff with local authorities um communities business young people um and cultural institutions so young people we go into schools we’ve got a whole Schools page um program where I can do as I mentioned earlier assemblies and so on local
Authorities we have we can help engage with local authorities and get them you know we we we do Partnerships with local authorities for like 18 months where we help the local Authority engage their citizens um in making sustainable change because councils all have these climate
Targets but no one wants to be told what to do by the council right imagine being told to eat less meat by the council probably make me eat more meat um so like uh you know it’s kind of how we help uh get Beyond those you know help
Them do that um uh yeah so I I could talk more about these if you want but I’m conscious of time here’s just the example of the schools one where we do you know all sorts of different stuff different schools with different capaity some schools are like which is so busy
If you can look after the kids for an hour great but don’t ask anything else others want help to do all sorts of different transitions at the school um some kids want deep Ambassador training some kids couldn’t care less so we have a whole range of things that we we sort of
Offer um and then the Ambassador training which is something um we’ll we’ll have a new one for the UK on on our New Zealand Australia region one just started the America’s region one just stopped the UK one will start in probably about um probably early March
So if anyone wants to join that five weeks it might actually go up to six weeks which um I know feels like a lot more but we just had had requests for more content for the people have done it well we we go right into that connecting with other people getting beyond the
Idea that I’m right and you’re wrong and meeting people where they are with their challenges um and really listening and then the inspiration of Joy uh as a way of inspiring transition and then various toolkits and guides and how to do workshops and presentations and you know
We could do optional media training and and all sorts of stuff stuff um and then just to mention we have various ways of connecting people around the world like our Hub and online events and and so on um and very finally last two slides 20 seconds on each just acknowledging that
You know what we kind of talked about earlier this ecosystem of actors that’s trying to drive the transition it’s got a big gap in it right now you know on the left we have um momentum Builders so ngo’s activism which is really great but so far has only reached the 133% um you
Know they really activated people hasn’t got beyond that the researchers the ipcc and all that they’ve done their bit but no one’s listening the media giving us a load of nonsense most of the time um uh and then um on the right hand side you’ve got the what you might call the
Direct actors industry local government national government the big missing piece is a mass movement of Everyday People in places I know you guys have recognized this this is what you’re working on too um and I think like the important point is recognizing where we fit within all that we can be we’re
Friends with all these other groups we support them we invite support back um but this is why something like this like you’re doing what we’re doing is so important and um the reason really just the F this is my final slide is that like the research is clear that that
Other 73% we talked about 27 that won’t happen if you look at history until there is a mass shift in culture and mindset that allows leaders to make the systemic changes that we need um uh and that really is about changing the way we think and feel um and you know that’s a
Cool part of this but perhaps I sh talk anymore because I’ll go too far there we go fantastic amazing thank you Tom that’s brilliant uh really informative loads in there so folks if you’ve got a question if you want to um down the bottom in the reactions uh thing there’s
A little thing where you can raise your hand we can tell who’s one two and three or you can wave your hand around and maybe I I’ll be able to spot that but it’s easier for you use reaction so is there any uh questions feedback statements or anything there for Tom uh
Thank you very much Tom that was that was really uh I really identify with that you know joyous movement uh just to say a little bit we really really need you know uh things that give us hope and joy and talk about the solutions and these are solutions and there is so much
Climate Doom out there and people who are feeling very sad and it’s disempowering and we know it’s bad uh as activists for for many decades but we’ve got to get on with the joy and the solutions and uh have a good party bringing people in and get organized so
We’ve got one two three there on the University challenge um uh Phil from uh Clan Clan Lord dog over in kamaran way Phil then Maiden head then Penny over that’s a very good effort at say Shan sha do I’ve gotta say that um I’m the treasur of our group and
I’m as tight as anything to buy all the kit and all the pack um how much does that cost or do we get that printed ourselves ah um well so uh all all the content is free online so all the resource you know everything’s completely open sourced we never charge
Anyone anything so you depending on where our budgets are we can at at a given week we can help out with printing sometimes um so basically get in touch um and if we have the cash will help but um we don’t always because it’s not easy to findun this stuff but um but
Certainly all the um yeah the you know the artwork and all that kind of things um is free and if we come and help and if you know then that’s always free as well so around particular events for launches and stuff we can often send someone up to help do workshops and
Stuff and things like that we never charge communities that’s not yeah not thank you very much Tom no worries Philip oh let’s get some exhibitions up to uh um up to Karan um wild Maiden head uh hi Tom um we use your stuff in the um ecoaction Hub in Maiden head I think
You’ve been Michelle was our cont with you so she’s been great um do you have references for the two3 that you you know those figures that you gave is the 23ds and then the 27% I sure do let me um stick it in the the chat oh brilliant thank you um it’s
On our website oh is it oh I can find it probably yeah well just to make it easier for you I think there’s various bits of research and it’s um I think the most digestible one is this one and this has all the links to the other um more detail so basically it’s
Like a whole program of research by all sorts of experts around the world proper peer reviewed science and stuff um and this is a kind of summary of some of it um of most of it and it kind of links to the other bits so it’s j.org power of people
Yeah brilliant thank you yep no worries okay um it was meant to be it was meant to be me next but I forgotten what I was going to say so I’ll I put my hand down hop over to Chris then and then Tim and
You can you can have a go when you when when when you’re ready Chris hi Tom uh thank you for for for the story um two things one um transition I’ve been kind of involved in my local group first heard about them 20 years ago and I’ve done my transition training
Um but it’s not a kind of a thing oh yeah it’s got to be just this but obviously there another group that’s achieved a Global Network um and it sounds like there’s some overlap but there’s also some things that you uh you know do differently and do you guys work
Together is there a connection or partnership anything there yeah I was on Rob’s podcast a couple of months ago and I we’ve we’ve kind of been talking about and there there’s quite a few transition groups which have used our stuff um and we’re sort of trying to figure out
We need to figure out how formally we we talk about a relationship because I think the way I kind of frame it is that the this is a resort the transition groups to use yeah yeah yeah well I mean I don’t know if you Ju Just you know if
You do obviously uh great if you don’t but there’s a guy Richard cry that kind of runs the London Southeast Hub and he also seems to be one of the main uh employees of of transition so you know if you haven’t already spoken him connected to H um you know there’s a
WhatsApp group and so it might be worth you know reaching out that way um so anyway that’s just a hopefully you know strengthening alliances um second you mentioned education there um schools yeah but and I’ve had the same conversation with transition is what about universities you know you have
Young people from around the world studying I’m about to hopefully get a job at working with Queen Mary’s residential for the postgrad student students I would love to start bringing in things like transition training I did climate fresk training you know take the jump training so that at least we’re
Planting seeds in these Internationals in London on the island we’re not flying around the world to spread the news and then they take it home they take it to their communities not some middle class white boy you know local whatever it is and uh I I I feel that that’s still
Something an underexplored an underdeveloped kind of angle um is that something but don’t know about you guys I mean I must admit in my naivity I only learned about you today is that something that you guys are doing University Outreach so um uh not as much
As we would like so I think and that’s just the case of you know we’re still quite young and we’re sort of making our way around uh all the different sectors but we we’re doing a session with UE uh UWE University of West of England coming
Up soon I think students would be per I mean they’re really in many ways they’re the perfect you know they haven’t quite got um all the layers of claws in them while they’re young well exactly exactly say that out loud they’re old enough to um but make their own choices they’re
Old enough it’s it’s not like manipulating children it’s it’s providing an adult with information that they can then process and choose to ignore agreed yes wrong I think schools are great as well um but you know it’s a different it’s a different thing um yeah
Tom and also I mean I must admit I’ve been on the website I mean there’s a contact and info out um are you happy to provide an email address for myself and perhaps others uh on the in the chat so that we can contact you the so the main I think the
The main one is still that team. take the jump I mean I’ve got a personal one I can put in as well if you want to get directly in touch with me but also we if you go if you put if you contact the team at take the jump. one I’ll see that
For sure okay all right no no I’m happy to leave it there um yeah the the UN Chris you know people you know we’d love to connect with universities um so anyone the thing is I’m based in London so London being the size that it is it’s
One of these places that you’ve best resources they go further yeah you know it’s not some small out of town place it’s a city with God knows how many universities uh and you can have a central you know meetings conferences trainings for a dozen universities in one place in Central London perhaps a
Space provided by Phoenix and space generators or climate emergency centers I think that’s a great idea Chris because people then take it back all over the world like you say it’s a good point in their language in their you know culture it’s not all right Tom I
Could go on but I’ll let somebody else have a go I’ll try and get through to I’ll send you an email my name is Chris heon is my surname I’ll send you a contact email tonight and um yeah let’s follow up Co I think we’ve got Tim or
Diner in LS I wasn’t sure who’s next Diner you’re coming up as 937 421 but whatever you want to call yourself we’re all open minded here um who was first you wasn’t me I wasn’t first Tim in Lincoln then 9374 21 over I’m a name not a
Number is it me am I going Sor yeah I mean simple one for me really I mean I do like the Simplicity of it I mean it’s and we you know we we’ve been using it on not not so much in our CAC but we got a climate Action Group and
It’s it’s a great way when you got people come up and you’re doing a stand somewhere you can just run through the different things and um one other thing just simple one I mean did people actually sign up on to dutes to say I’m going to take the jump and and sign up
For it is it something they physically do because we haven’t been sort of it to that stage and I probably just need to research it a little bit more on the website or whatever yeah I know so people um sign up and they basically sign up on the website and you specify
I’m going to try for one month three months or six months um and then we also if people want we say like which bit are you going to try are you going to try all of it or you going to try one shift or you know and then basically they get
A load of emails and they get linked into the online calls and you know and uh and they get support to go through that journey and we try and we try and get them hooked um in in this new way of living you know um as best we can uh so
Yeah yeah that sounds good yeah excellent thanks for that Dina next and then I’ve got one and then Chris or stick your hand up folks if you got one Dana uh yeah two things could we would it be all right if we put a link to take the jump website on our
Louis climate Hub website and newsletter would that be allowed yes of course abely amazing amazing amazing next question we’ve got Sussex University down the road they’re always on the BBC because they’re the nearest one of the nearest universities to London if we were to try and get a hold
Of students there be best to go through the Student Union how would you approach to get a bunch of students to come to something like this without having University yeah how do you how does one approach it yeah well I think so well first we’ve actually got our our
Communications person is um uh in Brighton actually so they yeah so I think that often we just you know uh we just often it’s actually universities and schools are get in touch with us but like if we we would basically just get in touch with them and share them a deck
Of what the kind of stuff we want to do and ask for a cup of tea basically um and then just go uh and you know find ideally if you know someone who knows someone it makes it a lot easier um I know you and you know the person in
Brighton so is there any way that we could like get something together with Brighton and Sussex universities the two of them the funny thing is Brighton doesn’t have a climate Hub but Lewis does I don’t know why Brighton doesn’t but Lewis does leis isn’t far from
Brighton or we may be able to do an Outreach and actually take it to the university and do it there yeah for sure for sure um um definitely I would like yeah I think actually we know we we know plenty of people in Brighton actually so
I’m sure we could do that um and there have been people who’ve talked about setting up a take the jump group there but um it never quite happened yet but like so um and I think yeah figuring out how to do an event for well doing an
Event for students I think would be so much fun because you can get into all the detail but also students perhaps aren’t quite as stuck in uh Daft ways of thinking yet as many grown as many older people are would would it be possible to uh be
Put in touch with your Brighton contact and I could have a chat and see how we could do it on the ground kind of thing no problem dodgy sounds a bit dodgy but you know what I mean I know what you mean yeah I know for sure that’s great po cross
Pollinating that’s what we want uh you know Shar things around the network I’m gonna come over to Christine if that’s all right Chris just because youve you’ve had a a bite the chair SEC um Christine yeah I just want to say I’m at bourma fi and yeah we just thought to
Echo you know and say I agree with Chris there is this kind of potential to kind of throw the seeds with the international students we got such a high percentage of them and we have like a sustainability week and we do do bits and Bobs but we could definitely do more
But you know yeah you know the students are keen and there there is stuff you know yeah they’re already doing it aren’t they people are doing it you always do more h absolutely Well yeah if you know anyone at Bournemouth I mean I think as um I
Forget your name I’m sorry but 937 421 um uh said I think the Student Union is actually quite a good way um um for sure yeah so if you know anyone there put us in touch yeah for sure yeah definitely yeah definitely I will you
Yeah thank you okay so a very good one started by Chris there about getting the University in and cross pollinating out around the world and Penny in Waymouth hello um this isn’t the question that I forgotten but um hi Christine yes so we’re in Waymouth and
Ju it just follows on we’ve actually got I think 60 students that want to come down and do something in Waymouth from uh Kingston University um so we’re sort of putting on a I don’t know like a people’s assembly type thing um and we’re trying to we’ve just had a meeting
With them today and you know trying to work out how how we meet their agenda and and and fit ours into the same program basically but in the same sit of breath we were like well our nearest university is Bournemouth so hi Christine maybe we can maybe we can have
A chat sort of um out of this Arena at some point because it would be really good to hook up with with our our our local uni yeah and and thanks Tom I know about the jump we haven’t been able to do it we don’t have a space but yeah I’m
Thinking about putting it you know we could put it on a website and we could use it as a resource maybe um yeah in the interim good lot of excitement spreading around the country then maybe there should be University and student for um Chris did you want your your point in
There yeah sorry um one other thing the the Ambassador training you mentioned um I seem to be you know enjoying adding these different kind of trainer uh programs did you say you were offering one in the UK in the near future I know you said you just completed one wasn’t
It no so the the new UK one will start early March so um we can show I we we haven’t quite nailed exactly when uh when it would it’s I think it’s going to start the first week of March but which night it is and what time I think it typically
We’ve done them on Thursdays at quarter past um quarter P 6 running for an hour and a half no halfast 6 for an hour and a half so it’d probably be that so the first Thursday of March but I’ll send around the details once we’ve confirmed
It okay I think some people are starting to beam off because karan’s got to go but Ju Just to say you know a bit of movement history here we did something called The Velvet Revolution tour around um different universities in the uh criminal justice act days and uh
Students as we know are very Lively organizers they’re traditionally involved with bringing large movements of people together when the students really get mobilized and uh with other working people and other groups then movements really start to move so um maybe there’s a way we are taking an
Exhibition of 40 Years of protest around to various climate emergency centers where can have something about climate emergency centers there in one of the printed panels we could also maybe take a take the jump panel Tom maybe we you know let let’s hack into the university network uh currently uh we’re working on
Linking into Oxford and Cambridge a bit more know they have some sustainability leadership uh programs and other things so it really is about getting in at that University level and and getting this information out I think what you’re doing is amazing um and you know any way
We can cooperate more as you’ve seen there’s already quite a lot of interest from different centers around the country and and and University groups and things that could Link in so any uh final we’ll run over it’s three minutes to but we can run over to five part or
So any other feedback particularly anyone who hasn’t spoken any brothers or sisters or sisters or brothers or however we do it nowadays uh anyone who hasn’t spoken who wants to share something or share your wisdom over to uh uh Sunny uh Preston I just think it’s great because I use
Some of the material in the CC I put posters up amongst like the second and cl and about West junk and stuff like that so we’ve used it a few times it’s great have you gotten that Tom yeah so we we it’s been down for a bit but it’s
About to go back up um it’s basically yeah we have um uh it’s called it’s basically it’s hub. takethe jump. org but it’s not quite up yet but it will be in a a few days again we had some technical issues I’ll send it around
Yeah you can have a chat with it yeah yeah great nice one thank you yeah cheers Debs yeah thank you very much I only got half of it but it was a brilliant half so thank you oh it’s been recorded it will go out on our YouTube uh Channel after this and
Gets emailed out to people so if you look at climate Emergency Center uh or centers on YouTube you’ll find our Channel and it’ll be up there in in a day or so um the lovely Chris is is helping us get them up quicker nowadays um really interesting so any any parting
Final comments put something in the chat a couple of words about what you thought is really nice something that uh um uh trust the people do at the end of their things so Tom what as a networker what I’m always interested is you know how can we accelerate this how can we make
It get out to more people so if we can get the resources to people I think Al you know the system change how can we create more system change expanding on that a bit and um you know it’s really really important work you’re doing that you know anybody can do it’s not
Something that you have to have you know a high level of degree of anything for you can anybody can do this so it’s really really important um anyone who hasn’t shared us your email share us your email I’m going to say just a quick parting uh next week we have before we
Come over to Tom to finalize um we have Rebecca Shaman is what I um from the British hemp Alliance coming to talk about how hemp can help the uh UK government achieve Net Zero targets and as some of us may know hemp is in my book is it’s the number one climate
Solution it is food it is fiber it is fuel it is medicine it holds deserts together it can it absorbs 40 times the CO2 of the same acreage of trees you can replace your plastic the bodal plastic is as a Solutions Network it’s one of
The biggest ones uh I just want to put my point in there then I’m really glad Tom that you are bringing in the the joyous movement and and partying and celebrating there old reclaim the streets byy I think it’s really really important that we have fun while we’re
Doing it that we celebrate you can have an art exhibition for 50 people about the environment but if you put a DJ music bands into it suddenly get a few hundred um we really need to and there’s so much climate doom and and it’s really
Important to point out how bad it is to everyone but it’s really really really important to give people hope to give people solutions to give them the spaces is what the climate Emergency Center network is to bring in all these different groups and projects and solutions so thank you for bringing a
Joyous movement that we can all work together on um I will hand over to Tom for uh for uh parting uh parting comments anything else Tom well just a big thank you and on that joyous note we’ve got this massive event coming up well not massive but amazing event
Coming up in um in uh North London in April uh which we’ve got funding for to create it’s called if it’s that if you want to change the world through a better party we’re taking over um part of the High Street of a building on the High Street in chingford we’ve got
Actors immersive theater designed setup we’ve got lighting it’s like a whole um basically it’s like a house party that you get involved in you get transported to the Future and you can bring your kids and you can the ideaas we’re triing it there um and then all these resources
Are going to be available for for communities to use around the around the country so maybe we’ll come back and talk to you about that but that’s a if you’re around on this joyous party element actually come to a in North London um and experience it or
You can see us online because we’ll be streaming it so is there a web link or anything for that Tom oh hang on let me before we go I can just get we’ve got a really I’ve got admit it’s a bit bit rubbish at the moment but um the uh we have a

Going to end the recording there but just after saying wherever you are whatever you’re doing you know that anybody can take one of these six jumps so take the jump into a sustainable future and uh find a vacant property in your High Street that we can all see and
Set up a climate Emergency Center check out climate Emergency Center .co.uk and take the jump together thank you very much for coming thank you Phoenix as always
